On 23 July 2026, the ENCATC Research Platform, in collaboration with Frontiers, explored how researchers can increase the visibility and impact of their work, starting from the idea that publishing is no longer just about getting an article accepted. Anna Villarroya presented the scope, audiences and opportunities of the European Journal of Cultural Management and Policy, and Ricardo Leitão-Gonçalves addressed how to choose the right journal, position research and maximise its impact. In a panel of Editorial Board members, Mika Noh, Xiao Lu and Carla Figueira then discussed what makes research publishable, visible and relevant. An open exchange with participants on journal selection, manuscript preparation and editorial processes closed the session.
Launched by ENCATC in 2025, the Research Platform connects and supports researchers in cultural management and policy through a series of online meetings and an in-person gathering at the ENCATC Congress. Its goal is to foster dialogue through peer-to-peer learning, critical discussion and international collaboration.
